plastic surgery vs. nicotine
The smokers have various problems that affect the plastic surgery. The nicotine contracts the small blood vessels and increases the possibility of respiratory and cardiac problems.
Smokers also have poorer blood circulation in the skin, this is a particular problem in plastic surgeries as facelift , breast augmentation , breast reduction , breast lift e tummy tuck. The aesthetic success of these plastic surgeries depends strongly on good sanguine circulation in the skin.
If the nicotine excess reduces the sanguine circulation in the operated area, can mortify the skin and make the recovery slower or require a second surgery.
If you can't or don't want to stop smoking, but desire your plastic surgery, you must stop to smoke or reduce the consumption for some weeks or months before and after your plastic surgery. This rule also serves to substitute for nicotine as chewing gum or candies with nicotine, because the effect is the same as cigarette.
If you have difficulty in stopping smoking, ask your plastic surgeon about medicaments that reduce the desire to smoke.
